Title
Introduction to Calculus.
(Credit Hours:Lecture Hours:Lab Hours)
(4:4:1)
Offered
F, W, Sp, Su
Prerequisite
Math 110 or equivalent.
Description
Introduction to plane analytic geometry and calculus.
Note
The math department recommends that students who would have taken Math 119 before 2011 now consider Math 112 (for Life Sciences students) or Math 118 (for students in the Marriott School of Management). Beginning Fall 2010 Math 119 will be available as an evening course through the department of continuing education.
Desired Learning Outcomes
This course is designed to provide beginning undergraduate students a first exposure to Calculus concepts, theorems, and techniques. In general, theorems will not be proved. An understanding of the theorems and their applications to solve calculus problems will be taught. Students will be expected to develop effective problem solving skills based on their understanding of the theory and not just memorize a set of routines to solve problems.
